Pierce Brosnan Talks "Vanilla Gorilla"

Pierce Brosnan updated his official blog with some news about his upcoming projects, confirming that the "Thomas Crown Affair" sequel is still in the works. He is what he had to say:

"Before I set sail with the second installment of TC2 (Thomas Crown Affair 2)... I'm off to South Africa to make "Vanilla Gorilla," an adventure film about an albino gorilla that has the capacity to speak through sign language. It's the story of a father and daughter who find themselves on an adventure of a lifetime, as they try to restructure their relationship after the loss of their mother / wife. I would like to think that the film, apart from being exciting, funny, and tender, will shed some light on the urgent need for all of us who care about the animal kingdom, to speak out against the senseless slaughter of the great silver backs, the brutal killing of whales, and the mindless butchering of the tigers and elephants. (It is not, mind you, a film that beats you over the head with all of this.)

"The script has been written by Craig Gardner and Terry Loane, who will direct. "Vanilla Gorilla" begins production in mid-February."
